Who was René Lacoste's doubles partner at the 1924 Olympics?

The story behind the answer

René Lacoste’s doubles partner at the 1924 Olympics was Jean Borotra. Together, the two Frenchmen won the bronze medal in the men’s doubles tennis competition at the Paris Games.

Borotra and Lacoste were members of France’s famous “Four Musketeers,” a group that also included Henri Cochet and Jacques Brugnon. Their partnership faced another French pair, Brugnon and Cochet, in the tournament’s final. The American team of Francis Hunter and Vincent Richards won gold, while Brugnon and Cochet took silver.

Lacoste and Borotra earned bronze by defeating South Africa’s Jack Condon and Ivie Richardson in the third-place match. They won 6–3, 10–8, 6–3, completing a notable medal-winning performance on home soil.

A common mix-up is to choose one of the other Four Musketeers. Brugnon and Cochet were the silver-medal team, while Borotra was Lacoste’s partner. The two also became major rivals in singles, meeting in important finals during the 1920s.
